Re: activity bar

2008-08-01 Thread Victor Lazzarini
Now, another bit of info I can't find in Walter's minimalist draft 
for the updated
Sugar is how access newly created activities, which I have put in the
~/Activities together with the rest.

The 'list' view only gives me the installed activities, which is no use to me.
Restarting X does not make sugar find the new activities. I was trying to look
into Bert's script to see if there was a trick to make sugar see 
newly installed
activities, but I saw nothing obvious.

Thanks
Victor

I have upgraded to the latest joyride and installed the activities

gone, or is somewhere else now?

No trick required, it should work. Can you provide logs please?

Not sure which logs. I can see all the installed activities but
none of my custom ones.

Then your custom activity must be malformed. See

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activity_bundles

(once the wiki finds its marbles again).

The logs are in ~olpc/.sugar/default/logs

Re: activity bar

2008-08-01 Thread Greg Smith
Hi All,

I believe the definitive documentation is in the release notes:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Notes/8.2.0#Home_View_Redesign

Walter's link has some more detail and information but I don't think its 
up to date. e.g. it doesn't have the Software Updates GUI in the Sugar 
Control Panel.

Let me know if I am not correct or you find any errors in the release 
notes. I need to nail down the final, canonical documentation and make 
sure it gets in the release notes ASAP.

Thanks,

Greg S

Only the activities which you favourite by clicking on the star-icon in
the list view show up in the ring-/freeview-screen.

http://sugarlabs.org/go/User:Walter/sandbox/Home#List_view

1. Activity entry Each entry in the list has: a star (for marking those
activities that will appear in the other Home views); an icon; a title; a
version number; and an install date.

 Thanks. I take it that some of the functionality has not yet been
 implemented,
 or has it? I mean, the home/circle view and freeform view do not display
 activity icons (even after restarting X).
